Equipment

We use only the safest, most efficient tools and equipment. Some of our tools, such as the Equalizer Sting Ray™, were designed and patented by glass installation specialists.

The Lil-Buddy™ mobile installation tool was designed by glass specialists to satisfy an important installation concern – one-man installations of large windshields while in the field.

The Lil-Buddy™ allows safe precise installation of every mobile windshield.

These tools keep Portland Glass® on the cutting edge of installation technology.

Environmentally Controlled Atmosphere

Our specialists treat your vehicle's pinchweld, prepared urethane bed and the glass itself with a surgical discipline. Because skin can leave oils that can compromise a windshield installation, our specialists wear Nitrile gloves while handling the glass or touching the prepared urethane bed.

The process of bonding glass (an inert, non-porous substrate) to the vehicle’s body requires a sophisticated chemical protocol. Preps, primers and catalysts all act together quickly to create bonds with remarkable strengths and unique properties. We thoroughly clean the new windshield and treat the perimeter with a two-component solution that prepares the glass for a tenacious bond.

In short, every step of the process from cutout to the setting of the glass is controlled for contamination that could interfere with adhesion and ultimate strength – and the personal safety of our customers and their passengers.
